If the last entry in the output is something like "cp toolchange.ko /usr/bin/toolchange.ko" then it has all worked.

The last line did say that.
Though when I look into usr/bin I don't see anything called toolchanger.ko

Sorry, my mistake. They end up in /usr/realtime....../modules/linuxcnc

I did find it there.

I am not able to test it or see anything it does. I am not sure where I would see it or its actions. Nothing is different when I open LCNC from my shortcut.

Either way there was some success today. For that I thank you.

Nothing will be different, you haven't changed anything yet....

You can try running the new demo config. That should show signs of running the toolchanger as a simulation, but it won't run your machine.

You need to look at how the toolchanger component is set up in the demo config and modify that to suit your machine config.
